I mean hey, if you can race around sticks and stones, when you pick up a set of cones, youāll be ready for them

If someone has suggestions on track design please chime in!
Im thinking start with a eight then a straight then another eight back the straight and that makes a lap, haha hope that makes sense 
You could look up some gokart track designs too, since theyāre on the same scale mostly
Actually some of them are probabably even a bit small

Nice longboard wheels for DH and freeride but they are solid PU and have no core. This does not lend itself to attaching a pulley.

I know, was a bitch attaching the pulley, but its possible trough dedication and woodscrews

Do you want good advice or to have us listen to your bad ideas?

Iāve clocked her at 46kmh but that was with a lot of wind in my back 
I do want good advice, actually was gonna do a different thread to discuss my bad ideas in but i couldnāt stop my self from mentioning them hereā¦
But you are right, this was about advice for starting racing and i totally derailed 
Going parkinglot hunting as soon as i finished my coffee

My first build went about 62.3 km/h / 38.7 mph on only 70mm wheels due to a 245KV motor on 12S
never got it that fast of course but I think you would be plenty happy with a build that tops out about 35mph/ 50kph

Honestly i would like my top sliighly higher (45ish) becouse as it is now i have no problems cruising at max which drains the battery like snapā¦ But this is on 5s, i have a 6s coming (for over a month), hoping that will take care of itā¦
As far as my bad ideas go, will limit them to a new thread, might do a build thread today if i managed to snap some amazing photos with my 1.3mp cameraā¦ FML

no not trying to tell you what to do, just saying when we try to give solid advice and you go an opposite direction it is hard to keep helping you go down that opposite route.
Keep posting we clearly enjoy talking to you about it.

Iāve only really seen @MoeStooge doing it from ground up but seems straightforward enough and no doubt works good on the ones he built, might be a long journey though but hey nothing good was made in a day

Small update: Updated bookmarks, if anyoneās missing anything please feel free to chime in and add!
My foot is better, still slightly swollen so no parkinglot racingā¦ yetā¦
Might try to mount a gopro on the board to record progress, been inspired by reading and watching @davidbonde, weāll se what happens
Im suprised no one is interested in sharing experiences in this, would have thought this subject would appeal to many but seems not
